cell membrane
cell membrane (plasmalemma, plasma membrane) The sheet-like membrane, 7.5–10 nm thick, that encloses and delimits the contents of a
cell. It is a living structure consisting of
lipid molecules forming a fluid bi-layer and associated
protein. Water molecules can pass freely through this structure, but the passage of most other molecules can be controlled (i.e. it is selectively permeable). The cell membrane may also have other functions, as in
prokaryotic cells, where it is associated with oxidative metabolism and cell division.
